The Lagos State government said it would begin full enforcement of the ban on usage and distribution of styro-foam food containers from today Monday.

State Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Mr Tokunbo Wahab, who revealed this in a statement at the weekend, said enforcement officers from LAGESC/KAI, Environmental Health Officials and LAWMA, Police and the Ministry would go after all those with styrofoams in their shops, stores or outlets and confiscate them.

He stressed that styrofoam usage had caused enough damage to the health of residents and the state of the environment for so many years.
